From Asia’s mushrooming urban centers to the remote highlands of Ethiopia, a new agenda for peace is emerging. By helping local communities build resilience to shared global challenges, we can forge bonds of trust that can help prevent conflict and pave the road to peace. This event will mark the launch of the Resilience for Peace Project, a collaboration between the Wilson Center and USAID’s Office of Conflict Management and Mitigation. The four year project will explore how we can do development better by recognizing the links between fragility, conflict, climate change, and environmental issues. Panelists will engage in a dynamic discussion of current efforts to bolster resilience around the world and what more needs to be done.

This event will be held from 3:00 PM - 4:30 PM on the 6th floor of the Woodrow Wilson Center.  View Event Homepage for more information, including a list of speakers.
